INTRODUCING
The 11 Day Bamboo Building And Design
Course in Bali
In collaboration with IBUKU
Immersed in the most beautiful and innovative bamboo environment. Meet the pioneers, the visionaries, the designers and builders who took this under-utilized material and transformed it into the most desired natural building material for bamboo structure design.
This is where it all began. Bali: the bamboo building mecca of the world!
Bamboo’s versatility is unparalleled, and so is Bamboo U's. As an engineer, the construction phase of the course was particularly fulfilling given that you get to synthesize everything you’ve learnt in a practical, hands-on, tangible
way.

My expectations were exceeded.
I fell asleep every night fully saturated with information and inspiration. To be honest,
the best par of the course was the community it built and the creative dialogue it
fostered.
